"Oh" Sicily grinned sheepishly. I could tell she seemed a bit disappointed that he had found out so I figured she was trying to stay away from him. At her petition, Drew let Sicily down and we helped her to her feet. "Are you OK sweetie?" I asked her "I'm fine" Sicily said, nodding profusely at Drew, hoping he'd get the hint and go back to the agency. "Alright, be careful Sicily" Drew said He leaned in to kiss her but she moved back, clearly annoyed, and ducked behind me. Drew threw up his hands in defense, "Alright I get it, I'm leaving". He sighed and sprinted off into the night Beep bop

Unspoken Bonds Chapter 1 1

Lorah's POV

It's been two whole weeks since the explosion at the abandoned airplane.

Two weeks since Sicily has been unconscious.

Drew and I have barely left her side the entire time. It's strange, considering I don't even like the guy.

"So, how long have you known Sicily?" I asked, figuring we might as well talk since we're both stuck in the same room, waiting for any sign that she's waking up.

He looked up at me, surprised. "Oh, uh, we've known each other our whole lives, actually. Me and two other guys, Eric and Peter, have been her big brother figures since we were all under a year old."

"Oh." His response caught me off guard. I didn't like the dude at first, but he's been looking out for Sicily all these years, doing the job I couldn't. It's not my fault I didn't know about her for 18 years, but I still feel indebted to Drew somehow.

"Wow, thank you so much for being there for her all her life," I said, walking over to shake his hand.

He smiled, glancing at Sicily fondly. "Well, I was her brother figure. I even thought I might be her real brother since I don't know who my real parents are either." He hesitated, looking a bit nervous. "Please don't knock me out for admitting this, but I've started developing feelings for her since finding out we aren't related."

"I know," I grinned, "You seemed a bit head over heels at the agency meeting."

"You're not mad at me?" He asked, visibly relaxing.

"No, I'm not, Drew. Technically, you were in her life first. I'm indebted to you, and if letting you go for my sister is a way to repay you, I'll do it."

"Thanks, man," he said, smiling brightly.

Suddenly, Sicily began to stir. Drew and I jumped from our seats, moving to either side of her.

"Sis, are you awake?" I asked, bending over her. She squirmed again.

"Drew, go get the doctor!"

"Wait! I want to try something!" Drew leaned down and kissed her.

"Whaaa?!" Sicily's eyes flew open.

"Heyyy," he grinned, and I high-fived him.

"Sicily, you're okay!" I said, helping her sit up and hugging her. Drew hugged her too, making her blush and turn away.

"How do you feel?" Drew asked gently.

"I... feel fine. Lorah, how long have I been out?"

"Two weeks! Mom and Dad were so worried. Everyone panicked when you didn't wake up. I've got to call them and let them know you're awake! Drew, watch Sicily!" I said, pulling my phone out of my pocket as I ran out of the room.

Sicily's POV

I'm... awake?! Was I asleep? I don't remember much. One moment, I was jumping out of an exploding airplane, and the next, I'm lying in a hospital bed being kissed by Drew.

God, I feel so embarrassed! I can't even look at him.

I'm starting to get annoyed at my otherwise amazing twin brother for leaving me alone with Drew. Doesn't he realize how insanely awkward this is?!

I'm sitting in a reclined position, staring at the door on the far left as Drew watches me from my right side.

"Sicily?" he called softly.

I didn't respond.

"Sicily, I'm sorry. Kissing you was a bold move, and though I don't regret it, I really didn't mean to make you mad at me." He paused, waiting for me to say something. When I didn't, he continued, "I love you, and I just wanted to see if I could wake you up that way."

I immediately turned and stared at him in shock.

"Yeah, I'm definitely still in whatever coma or dreamland I was just in," I said incredulously, lying back down.

"You're not dreaming Sicily"

"That's what the Drew in my dreams would say"

Omg I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!! I groaned and pulled at my hair.

"Haha you dream about me?" Drew laughed

"No....I didn't mean.... Ugh" I sat up and yelled for Lorah. "Lorah get back here and make Drew leave!!"

"Sicily calm down I'm sorry" Drew said, "Do you really want me to leave?"

I looked back at him and noticed how worried and sad he looked "Before I answer that.." I replied, "Did you really mean what you said a second ago?"

Drew rose from his chair and sat on the bed next to me, looking into my eyes, "I meant every word" he said slowly.

"Drew...." Tears started falling as I stared at him, a smile coming over my Face.

"Sicily!!!!!"

"Oh honey thank goodness"

Drew and I turned to the door in surprise.

I was upset that my moment with Drew was being interrupted and I didn't really feel like seeing my parents right then Thankfully only Drew came in, holding a tablet with my Parents on a video call.

"At least I can turn them off when I get too uncomfortable" I thought

Lorah, yes I'm calling him Lorah.

Anyways, lorah gave me the tablet and then he and Drew sat on either side of me as I talked to my parents.

My hands tensed as I gripped the tablet and my heart raced. Aware of my discomfort, Drew and lorah put their arms around me. "You got this" Drew whispered into my ear

I tilted the face of the camera away as I smiled at Drew, just in case my

Dad was one of those protective ones who can't stand their daughters talking to boys.

"Uh Hi Mom and Dad! How come you aren't here in person? Not that I mind of course! I definitely prefer the video call, but why?"

"I'm sorry sweetie, but Ten put us on a mission right when we got the news that you were unconscious. He wanted to keep us from worrying ourselves into a panic.

It's not really working so I really hope I don't knock out a certain commander when I get back."

"If you don't I will" Mom said, clenching her fists"

I tried not to smile for I had had every intention of hating my parents for all eternity Nevertheless a small smile crept through my determined face.

"So how do you feel sweetie?"

"I feel fine! Just a little dazed that's all"

"See honey I told you she'd be fine!" My Dad, Agent Dakota remarked.

"Sweetie I saw your picture on the wall! One of a highest ranking agents in the Opposition, we're so proud!!"

"Thanks"

"She takes after me, I was always a prodigy in agent academy!" Mom bragged "Not even! I was called 'expert sniper' when I was eight!" Dad said, "Now Sicily's an expert sniper so she clearly got it from me!" "Well then Lorah got his infiltration skills from me! I infiltrated the most dangerous enemy base of our time and scored thousands of resources for our side when I was six!

That's technically when I was promoted to second in command but they had to hold off on the promotion because I was ten years too young!"

Mom laughed, "Lorah is the top infiltrator in the 0-40 age group and Sicily got promoted so they both got my genes!!"

I giggled in the background.

I was actually enSicilying a normal conversation with them. It finally came over me how much I wanted parents. How much I hated that they were "dead". How much I wanted a bond with the people who had me!!

"So you two seem like you're bonding!" Mom suddenly said

I looked from one boy to the other not sure who she meant until Lorah responded, "Yeah. Feels great to have a twin sister" He gave me a side hug, "I honestly feel complete"

"We're so glad. We can barely believe she's been here this whole time. Lucky we found out right when our agencies came together!" Suddenly my twin's expression changed. He scowled at my Mom and Dad and ended the call.

"Lorah what's wrong?" "You don't get it do you Sicily?"

"Get what?"

"Mom and Dad! They found out you were even alive on the day our agencies joined. If they found out before then, they never would have told me or tried to get in contact with you!"

"But they did!" I said, "Mom and Dad found out I could potentially be their lost daughter a few weeks ago.

I stopped at their base during a mission and Dad guessed who I was and told Mom. He believed I was Sicily but Mom didn't....."

"What?!?!? Then if Dad knew, what did he do about it?"

"Kissed me and called me his baby girl"

"Yeah......but he never told me so that proves my point." Lorah sighed as

I looked down sadly. After a moment he looked back at me and said, "Sicily. I know you've always wanted parents, but these ones you got are no good. You and I can take care of ourselves so please don't show them any sort of affection. They don't deserve it."

Lorah shook his head again and went to put the tablet away. Drew patted my shoulder as I sighed...

I just got my parents back, and now this?

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
